The First Piece

The Phrase a Calligrapher Often Writes First

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Bismillahir-rahmanir-rahim

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

QS Al-Fatihah: 1

The basmalah is the phrase most often written in Arabic calligraphy, opening a piece and a practice in composition. Within it gather varied letter shapes, curves, joins, and spaces that call for balance, which is why it is often chosen as a student's first framed work.

Reviews

Stories from Arabi Calligraphy Students in Palu

4.9 From 34 learner and guardian reviews

My child, who used to run out of patience quickly, now traces lines and dots with care. The calligrapher draws in front of him, so he sees exactly how the hand moves.

I began from zero in my thirties. Learning Naskhi with the nuqthah rule made my writing neat, and I have already framed my first basmalah.

With guidance in the naskah branch, I finally understood the required and chosen styles. Correction on every sheet made my strokes steadier ahead of the MKQ.
